Steps with explanations to set up a server using:

Virtualenv
Virtualenvwrapper
Django
Gunicorn

Hiring!

The Dell Cloud Manager engineering team is growing. We're looking for seven new software developers at many different experience levels.

In this gist, I want to give you an idea of:

Developer Hiring Process

Expected qualities

Passion / curiosity
Fast technical learning
Resourcefulness / capacity to solve problems in a quick and pragmatic way
Communication / ease to explain and understand

Technical interview

Project Title

One Paragraph of project description goes here

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

How to set up a Python development environment

A Python development environment is a folder which you keep your code in, plus a "virtual environment" which lets you install additional library dependencies for that project without those polluting the rest of your laptop.

mkdir my-new-python-project
cd my-new-python-project
virtualenv --python=python2.7 venv

This will create a my-new-python-project/venv folder

Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

Coding Interview University

I originally created this as a short to-do list of study topics for becoming a software engineer, but it grew to the large list you see today. After going through this study plan, I got hired as a Software Development Engineer at Amazon! You probably won't have to study as much as I did. Anyway, everything you need is here.

The items listed here will prepare you well for in an interview at just about any software company, including the giants: Amazon, Facebook, Google or Microsoft. >
